You’ve been chosen to take part in Living On A Dime’s Grocery Audit, where we will do an audit of your groceries and suggest specific ways that you can save money. Thanks so much for applying!!
Our goal is to give you specific tips and recipes to help you cut your grocery bill and to make cooking easier.
Here is what we need from you:
- Pictures of your grocery receipt or receipts. If you do grocery pick-up, a screenshot of the order is fine. I just need to see items purchased with prices.
- A video of you telling us what is your biggest grocery problem.
- Video of you shopping at the store showing prices on the shelf. Some description of why you buy the items you do.
- Video of your fridge, freezer, pantry, and anything else you think might be important.
- Please tell us what types of foods you like to eat: Mexican, American, Italian, etc.
- Let us know if you have any special food needs. If you are diabetic, have specific allergies/food sensitivities or something else, be sure to let us know!
When recording video or taking pictures:
- VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Please be sure your camera lens is free of fingerprints and dirt before filming.
- Be sure all lights are on while filming.
- Try not to use a window that is brighter than you as the background (because it will make you dark).
- Please record the video horizontally. (i.e. turn the camera sideways instead of up and down.)
- If possible, avoid recording where there are very loud background sounds that will make it hard to hear you, like loud air conditioners or truck engines.
Here is an example of a video that is similar to what we will be doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4rt4XXnhqs
Thank you very much! I look forward to working with you! -Tawra
